Once a mechanical and materials engineer that worked on rockets, I am now a stay-at-home mom to three incredible children. I also teach chess to elementary students after school once a week. I first got hooked to Instructables when my husband forwarded the Kidnapped Mermaid Costume to me in 2009 and I had to make it for myself.

You can do it either way. Sewing machines can handle two pieces of felt sandwiched together pretty easily, but if you have concerns you can always sew it to on side first before sewing the pieces together. Thanks for your comment! I never know if people find this instructable useful and helpful until somebody says so. I hope your students have fun with the set. We just used our again a month and half ago in chess club, so they are still holding up well after all these years.
